New Tape Player App in development - help needed

[kolbeck]

Hi,

A new crossplatform tape player app is in development, which can play tap and tzx - even on iPhones without extra amplifier!

We are looking for some help with translations, so if anyone wants to help out - please have a look at this file and reach out to me.

We need translation for at least he following languages:

* German
* Dutch
* Czech
* Poland
* Portuguese
* Spanish
* Italy

To prove it exists - here's a picture of me testing using an iPhone 11

Hi Kolbeck, I just sent you a private message.

[Stefan]

Without further context on how / where the messages are used, here are my Dutch translations:

Not sure if the app_title should be translated.

That would be awesome! I so miss . . . wait, what was the other one for iOS called? Speccy Tape?

[kolbeck]

thank you!

Yes Speccy Tape - but it's no where to be found (and not update in ages). This one works the same on Android and iOS and it uses ZXInfo API to fetch information

It also have the nice feature, that if you pick a file on the device, it looks up the file in API (using md5) and displays information if found

Oh, could you please make it run on an older iOS, too? I have an iPhone 5S running iOS 12.5.1 and am not planning to upgrade any time soon.

Pretty please?

It runs in the 5s simulator in Xcode - so why not...

Oh, goody!

Sorry, typo, should be:

Oh, goody, a new tape player app! And now, thanks to [mention]RMartins[/mention] , also in my own language!

[mention]RMartins[/mention] , I guess this app is not a recorder, just a reader. Shouldn't the 1st 2 entries read "ZX leitor..." instead of "ZX gravador..."?

Also I'm not sure if the "select_file" is for multiple or single file: [mention]kolbeck[/mention] 's original English appears to be for a single file.
If that's the case, it should end as "... o ficheiro" instead of "... os ficheiros".

Thanks [mention]RMartins[/mention]

[mention]lfaria[/mention] - yes, as the title says - it's player, not recorder and selector is to select from local files.

[druellan]

Let me know if you still need a Spanish translator.

[kolbeck]

Let me know if you still need a Spanish translator.

Please go ahead

[kolbeck]

As I can’t edit the original post

* German
* Dutch (done)
* Czech
* Poland
* Portuguese (done)
* Spanish ([mention]druellan[/mention]
* Italy (done)

[druellan]

Can I have more context about this ones?

"pull_up_to_load" meaning, a swipe-up gesture? Or there is something on the UI like a physically element you need to pull up?
"release_load_more" release, meaning to release the current tape you have allocated?

Thanks!

I believe it’s the swipe up gesture. For the other I need to find it in the app

[RMartins]

@RMartins , I guess this app is not a recorder, just a reader. Shouldn't the 1st 2 entries read "ZX leitor..." instead of "ZX gravador..."?

Yep it's a reader, but I rarely if ever heard someone call a tape recorder, just a tape reader.
Hence I went for what I believe was the most common term.

I will leave it to the software developer to choose which one to use.

Both can be used.

Also I'm not sure if the "select_file" is for multiple or single file: @kolbeck 's original English appears to be for a single file.
If that's the case, it should end as "... o ficheiro" instead of "... os ficheiros".

I was not sure either, since it seemed to be able to be both.

I would have to see the text being used within the application, to understand which is the actual use.

If that is the case, it might need a review on the Portuguese translation.
I was not sure exactly what was meant by "pull up". I assumed it was some kind of fake vintage knob in the app.

There is no real direct translation for "swipe up", in Portuguese.
This is a new term of this modern touch sensor age.

The best match is something like:

Code: Select all

"pull_up_to_load": "Arraste para cima para carregar"

[Alessandro]

[mention]kolbeck[/mention] Coming to think of it, "Spingi in alto per caricare", the literal translation of "pull up to load", is not very precise - the "swipe up" gesture could be better translated as "Trascina verso l'alto per caricare". Could you please change it?

[RMartins]

Updated

Code: Select all

}

Note: If you prefer "reader" (because "player" is not used in Portuguese), you can replace "gravador" with "leitor", on the first 2 items.
